Video Editing

Edit videos with AI background removal, color grading, upscaling, stabilization, and enhancement tools.

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only video-editing guide whose requested actions and examples are coherent with its stated purpose; no unexplained installs, credentials, or hidden endpoints are present, though it relies on third-party services and local tool commands that the user should review before use.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description (AI video editing with background removal, color grading, upscaling, stabilization, enhancement) matches the SKILL.md and the technique files. Recommended tools and workflows (ffmpeg, DaVinci, Runway, Topaz, Real-ESRGAN, rembg, etc.) are appropriate and expected for this domain.

Instruction Scope

The runtime instructions tell the agent to use cloud APIs and local tools, to upload videos to named services (Runway, Unscreen, Topaz, Replicate, etc.), and to run shell commands (ffmpeg, pip install, CLI tools). This is within the skill's purpose, but it means user media may be sent to external providers and the agent may execute local commands — users should expect those behaviours.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files — lowest-risk format. The files include example install commands (pip, apt, brew) for optional/third-party tools, which is normal for an instructions-only skill and does not itself write or fetch code during skill installation.

Credentials

No required environment variables are declared in registry metadata, but multiple example snippets reference an API_KEY/Authorization header for third-party services. This is not necessarily malicious (examples assume the user supplies credentials to cloud services), but it's a mismatch: the skill won't automatically have keys and will require the user to provide credentials when using cloud APIs.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request persistent privileges (always:false), doesn't modify other skills or system-wide configs, and has no install-time persistence. It can be invoked by the agent (normal), but that is expected for skills.

Assessment

This skill is a collection of editing workflows and command/API examples — it appears coherent for video editing. Before installing or using it, consider: (1) Many examples upload media to third-party services (Runway, Unscreen, Topaz, Replicate, etc.) — don't send sensitive or private videos unless you trust the service and understand its privacy/retention policy. (2) Several examples reference API_KEY placeholders but the registry doesn't provide/store credentials — you'll need to provide keys yourself if you want cloud integrations. (3) The guidance contains shell commands that can install/run tools (pip, apt, brew, vendor CLIs); only run those you trust and verify they come from official sources. (4) Some techniques (face swap) have ethical/legal implications; use responsibly. If you want stronger guarantees, ask the skill author for explicit documentation on which external endpoints are used and for a minimal list of required credentials.

AI Video Editing

Help users edit and enhance videos with AI tools.

Rules:

• Ask what edit they need: remove background, color grade, upscale, stabilize, enhance
• Check technique files: background-removal.md, color-grading.md, upscaling.md, stabilization.md, audio.md, effects.md
• Check tools.md for provider-specific setup
• Always work on copies, preserve originals

Edit Type Selection

Task	Technique	Best Tools
Remove background	Video matting	Runway, Unscreen, rotobrush
Color correction	LUTs, grading	DaVinci Resolve, Runway
Increase resolution	Video upscaling	Topaz Video AI, Real-ESRGAN
Fix shaky footage	Stabilization	DaVinci, Premiere, ffmpeg
Clean up audio	Enhancement	Adobe Podcast, Descript
Add effects	AI effects	Runway, After Effects
Slow motion	Frame interpolation	RIFE, Topaz

Workflow Principles

• Proxy workflow — edit low-res, export high-res
• Non-destructive — preserve original files
• Render in stages — color before effects before upscale
• Check key frames — AI can flicker between cuts
• Audio separately — enhance audio track independently

Common Workflows

Background Replacement

1. Export with alpha (green screen or AI matte)
2. Place over new background
3. Match lighting/color
4. Add edge blur for realism
5. Composite shadows

Enhancement Pipeline

1. Stabilize (if needed)
2. Color correct / grade
3. Denoise
4. Upscale to final resolution
5. Sharpen (light)

Audio Cleanup

1. Remove background noise
2. Enhance voice clarity
3. Normalize levels
4. Add compression if needed

Frame Rates

Source	Interpolation	Output
24fps	2x	48fps
30fps	2x	60fps
30fps	4x	120fps
60fps	2x	120fps

Use cases:

• Slow motion (need more frames)
• Gaming footage (smooth motion)
• Film to video conversion

Export Settings

YouTube/General:

• H.264 codec
• 1080p or 4K
• 15-30 Mbps bitrate

Archive/Master:

• ProRes or DNxHD
• Original resolution
• Maximum quality

Social Media:

• Platform presets
• 9:16 for vertical
• Under file size limits
